CPA Conference 2019

October 25, 2019

With the current landscape dominated by Brexit the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA) Conference 2019 fell at a critical time for the construction plant sector.

The event attended by well over 100 people from the construction industry included a series of panel discussions, with Ian Webster and Belinda Naylor sharing their thoughts in the first session about the plant industry in 2019 and beyond.

During the session Ian Webster, Chairman and Technical Director described how the demise of the UK Mining industry together with the company’s product design capabilities took him from designing machinery for the mining sector to designing attachments for the Construction industry.  Ian went on to talk about how Webster Technologies focus on innovation and new product development has enabled them to remain a leader in the market for their core product, the Rockwheel cutting attachment.   Ian’s passion for designing new products is also evident in his latest game changing design; The Rockhit, a low frequency, high impact breaker that’s kinder to the environment and uses a revolutionary way of generating the impact energy.

Belinda Naylor, Webster Technologies Business Development Manager gave her thoughts on the challenges faced by companies in the current climate and recognising the opportunities this brings to review and refresh business strategy, improve processes to increase efficiencies and diversify into other areas.

Belinda also explained how products developed by Webster Technologies, despite the company’s small size, are competing with the rest of the world, reflected in Webster Technologies selection as an Export Champion by the Department of International Trade earlier this year.
